Why it works
A dense grid makes viewers pause to screenshot or recognize titles they forgot. Kristina's 20+ icon folders, the 2x2 gameplay grids on nostalg1ac0re, and laelindria's 2x2 wishlist grids all do this.
Hook formula[Category] games [for audience/era], grid of [number] titles on slide one
How to make it
- 1Build each slide as a grid (home-screen folder or 2x2)
- 2Include the icon or logo plus gameplay shots so forgotten titles are recognizable
- 3Add a short badge or one-line pitch (OFFLINE MODE, 'X meets Y')

How this is measured
- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
